Assault on the Rock

Duncan Harding

A thriller set in the middle of World War Two.

Hot-headed Catalan Angles fought against the Fascists in Spain before joining the British Commandos. In 1941, Naval Intelligence Commander Ian Fleming (of James Bond fame) learns that Hitler wants Franco to help him invade Gibraltar and if the Rock goes, the whole of the Mediterranean will fall prey to the Axis. There's only one chance: with his old crew of Catalan volunteers, Cusi must assassinate Franco . . .

Prepared to Die

In the midst of World War One, four sailors are charged with attacking Russia.

In 1919 four British sailors were given orders to enter Petrograd Harbour, deliver a British agent into the heart of Soviet Russia, then sink one of the Red Fleet's battleships. The weapons they chose were two small motor torpedo boats, the route overland through snowbound, Communist-infiltrated Finland, then through the dark, icy seas and minefields that guarded one of the most impregnable harbours in the world . . . .
